Help Clean Up Salem At Citywide Earth Day Event

SALEM, MA — It's time to get Salem spruced up for spring and summer.

The city Beautification Committee along with the organization Keep Salem Beautiful will host the second annual "Great Salem Cleanup" day in connection with Earth Day on April 23.

Volunteers are sought for the cleanup that will target several areas throughout the city for some tidying up from the winter aftereffects.

The cleanup event will run from 10 a.m. to noon with a volunteer appreciation party — including pizza — to follow at East Regiment Beer Company from noon to 2 p.m.

Volunteers are asked to register here and pick one location to clean up that day.

Once registered, volunteers will receive more details later this month regarding the exact meeting location and team captain information.

Those with questions are asked to contact KeepSalemBeautiful@gmail.com.
